Are you Boring?

I guess it depends on who you ask. Most Americans would probably say yes. Some Asians (not just Thai) have asked me this question, but wasn't sure how to respond. For some reason, I didn't really think they meant what was said.  You know, kind of like lost in translation. Instead, I realized that they were asking, "Are you bored?"  It kind of made me think that every Asian student had the same English teacher. Here's the way I figured it out. The clue was contextual - always on a field trip, attending a presentation, etc. Just to be on the safe side, I always say "no" - regardless if the verb ends in "ing" or "ed."
